    WHYYYYY

    WHY is there no "character pedal" that is designed to evoke the GK sound? :( I would die for such a thing... Other than the "Diesel Dawg"...I'm not interested in a distortion-only unit.

    Preamp pedals, and power amps. The age-old dilemma.

    Okay, so as you may or may not know (and likely do not care), I have decided to go the separate pre/power amp route. Nobody is talking me down from this, so let that be immediately known. My question is simple. In this massive selection of preamp pedals, and just as many power amps for...

    Eminence 3010?

    So, I don't hear much chatter about the new 3010 series speaker drivers. The lf looks beastly, but it's insensitivity and cost render it a niche item, IMO. meanwhile, the mb and ho look amazing, except the lowend rolloff looks a touch steep. Am I missing something, or are the newest, smallest...

    Is it just me...

    ..or is this http://www.usspeaker.com/faital%20pro%2015FX560-1.htm the ULTIMATE 15" for bass? I know it seems expensive, but pray tell, is there a way to push more air for $300? This thing seems insanely awesome, and the more I think about it, the more I think I need a box for one :D...

    SUB STERLING RAY 4

    My brothers, I just tried one:hyper: GOOD NEWS! It's a sub-$300 Stingray!! It gets even BETTER...it appears that despite what the Sterling site may have said, we (The United States) DO get the 4-string in Walnut finish! :bassist: So, yeah, it def. sounds like a ray, albeit, with the concessions...

    Okay, here goes...

    So, I've got a MK I Peavey TNT 100 that I simply ADORE. Old school, effective EQ, and brutally awesome SS overdrive (me gusta). However, it is not very loud. And as my financial situation improves I would very much like to upgrade to something more substantial. Which brings me to my question...

    Truss Rod! How much?

    So,I've decided to remove that foul bow from my beloved J's neck. And, I already gave the truss nut 1/-1/4 of a clockwise turn, and the difference seems a bit minimal. Should I keep cranking on it, or give the wood time to "stabilize" or something? I just don't want to sit here with a broken...

    Umm what? Ampeg PF210 question

    Hey dudes, is it just me, or does the Ampeg PF210HE clearly have two different tens in it?I dont' understand how that would benefit anything.

    Is this good speakers?

    Anyone use these? Playing around with Winisd, it looks like it'd make a nice sealed 215 that'd have svt-like low end (a big plus for me.....NOT a reggae player). Plus, it looks like they're pretty damn efficient. Your thoughts, TB?

    Why doesn't Avatar do a 1212/6?

    Seriously, why not? I'm sure they could tune the box to suit two 3012LF's and a 6" mid. It'd surely sound much better than the current 212 they offer (NOT THAT IT IN ANY WAY SOUNDS INHERENTLY BAD).

    Peavey TNT100 + VT?

    Anyone ever paired a 1970's Peavey tnt 100 with a VT bass? I've been lusting for a VT bass since the second they hit the market, but wonder if it'd sound good with my combo, since I cannot bypass the preamp. Conversely, what distortion/od/fuzz type pedals work well with this amp?

    What the?

    So, after I finally decided that I was done tolerating the buzz/rattle from my Peavey's grill, I decided to attempt speaker removal. Now, it was missing a few screws, nbd. But some troglodyte managed to strip one of the holes a speaker screw was resting in :scowl: I decided to attempt pulling it...

    New Amp Day!

    After years of hunting for the right amp to replace my practice amp, a fantastic surprise deal landed square in my lap. So, I present to TalkBass my first actual legit, useful amplifier: A Peavey TNT 100. It's Serial# 9A-325834. Neither myself nor the previous owner know the age, but...

    CONCEPT bass thread!

    I figured it would be kind of cool to make a thread dedicated to basses that we, the Talkbassists, have in our heads, but do not yet possess. I know we all have very unique and creative ideas, so let's hear em! Dream bass, nightmare bass, or bass you most want to set ablaze whilst performing on...

    Quick question concerning MIM Fender bridges

    I would just like to know, as I desire a new bridge, what bridges will fit my mim jazz without requiring the punching of additional holes, or otherwise be a hassle? I just DO NOT feel like mutilating my baby with my woodworking "skills". Also, I've noticed that some bridges come with no grooves...

    So, I turn 21 tomorrow.

    Why am I not excited? :eyebrow: I've honestly never been less excited for a birthday in my whole life. :rolleyes: At least I can drink when I'm out on the town.

    frustrated- anyone else have this problem?

    Let start by saying this is my first post. Been lurking for a few years, decided to join. Recently, Ive had a rather frustrating problem. Ive owned a bass for about 2 years now, and have been actually on it for one year. Needless to say, I DO NOT sound good.:scowl: Well, as an added insult, my...
